A classic among Rock cymbals

Cymbal manufacturer Zultan began its success story in the year 2000 with the launch of its "Rock Beat" series. These cymbals are hammered and milled by hand in Zultan's workshops by Turkish artisans and guarantee a full and multifaceted sound that easily cuts through in a mix and makes them perfect for Rock music. Thanks to the wide range of models, sizes, and thicknesses available, however, players of many other styles will also find what they are looking for here. Never before has a professional cymbal sound been available at such an affordable price.

Bright sound and dazzling looks

For centuries, a combination of 80% copper and 20% tin has been the recipe for perfection when it comes to cymbal-making, and is consequently the one used by every manufacturer for their top-of-the-line series. The prices that these cymbals fetch leave the majority of drummers shaking their heads, however - all the better therefore that Zultan's Rock Beat series is within the reach of those who don't have a fortune to spend. The 16" Crash provides powerful accents and possesses a large dynamic range, while its dazzling finish makes it look pretty damn good at the same time.

More than just Rock

When it says "Rock" on the outside, there should be Rock on the inside - and that is absolutely true of Zultan's Rock Beat series. Thanks to its bright and full-bodied sound, the 16" Crash can easily cut through over distorted guitars and is therefore the ideal choice for all types of Rock music. Thanks to its sensitive response, however, it already develops its full potential in the middle dynamic range and is thus also a great choice for styles like Pop, Funk, and Blues.

About Zultan

To provide traditional craftsmanship at a fair price has been the guiding principle of Zultan ever since it was founded in 2000. The firm’s practice of selling directly to the end customer makes it possible to offer very customer-friendly prices. Nevertheless, the production process for Zultan’s trademark cymbals, which are made mainly in Turkey, is of the highest quality, a fact which has ensured they have also been a fixture in the Thomann range since 2011. The nearly 250 Zultan products cover several cymbal series, catering for all sectors of the music market. Zultan also offers accessories such as bags and drumsticks. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and manufacturing expertise, Zultan really does offer uncompromising quality at a reasonable price.

Professional sound at a budget-friendly price

Those who start learning to play the drums should pay particular attention to the quality of their cymbals, because while lower-grade cymbals may be sufficient for the needs of some players, they do still have clear limitations in terms of dynamics and expression. With its Rock Beat 16" Crash (or perhaps even one of its affordable complete sets), Zultan gives drummers impressive quality at an affordable price, so an enjoyable playing experience is guaranteed in the long term. Even professional drummers who already have B20 cymbals may find the 16" Crash to be the perfect addition to their existing setup.

Unbeatable value and great sound
Drummerboy54 12.09.2019
Just received this and had a fun time at band practice trying it out. It's a great cymbal: as others have said, it has a cool splashy sound, but the note is quite long and very clear. It's really versatile and even a gentle hit provides a satisfying feel and tone. Pleasantly surprised at the quality for the money, I have also noticed that the hole is not perfectly round but it sits nicely on its perch so I'm not too worried. And it sounds just like the audio file on this site, which I found really useful as shopping online for musical instruments can be...hit and miss (d'oh). Don't be put off by some music store's cynical comments about 'budget' cymbals - apparently Zultan is a Thomann brand. Well if I get this level of quality for my cash (and there isn't much of it) I'm happy.

Got both the 16'' and 18'' Rock Beat Crashes.

The 16'' sounds really good, not at all as the price would suggest.
The 18'' sounds a bit ''cheaper'', but all in all both are good value for what you pay!

Surprisingly Decent Cymbal
Anonymous 01.12.2016
I recently broke my aax stage crash which was my main crash. Being fed up with paying for aax cymbals i thought i'd try the Zultan rock beat.

The cymbal has a really nice splashy crash sound and the volume is not too much which for me is good as I have an explosion crash also.

The cymbal finish is beautiful and it seems really well made.

Only downside is that the cymbal hole is not perfectly round on my one which I hope does not lead to it getting cracked but so far so good.
